MinkyDinkys SW Success Diary!!

Terrible Tuesday... I hate Tuesday's. My friend M at work and I call them Infini-Tuesday. As in they go on for bloody forever!!

So, tried to start the day on a happy note and that always includes food :D

Red onion and cheese (HexA) omelette. And boy was it good!

Lunch was meant to be BNS soup but forgot to get it out the freezer - oops! So I have left over. chicken noodle soup. Roll on lunch time!
Busy morning ahead training people on how to do my job. Only internal people but just so they know the basics of how to do my job when I'm not here (and we all know how I want my holiday!!)

Anyway! Best crack on, have a lovely morning all xxx
 
Good luck for weigh in minky! X

cheers chick! I'll be happy with a 2lb gain, anything more and there will be blood! Ha :) xx
 
Change of plan at lunch time. Ended up having to go to tesco so wouldn't have had time to heat and eat my soup so grabbed a small chicken and vegetable sushi.

Picked up some awesome pyjamas too for my nephew while there for Xmas. I normally buy him learning stuff and toys but the rest of the family have so I opted for nightwear as he splits his time between his mums and my brothers.

Got some batman ones for him too, now just a fun dressing gown and slippers to go!

I've never tried sushi- fishy, veg, chicken or otherwise. Am I missing out?! Xx

I like sushi, never would have tried it prior to SW because I was always like euuuurgh raw fish?! But apart from anything salmony I really enjoy it. Low syn too - the one I had for lunch is only 2.5 syns and that's all I had as I find it fills me up now. Do have a grape snack pack to go with it but will munch in a bit.

M&S do a nice small sushi pack too, only 1 syn and think it's a pound?? So not a huge waste of money of you do want to try! Xx

Yeah, I'm a bit scared tooo! :giggle: Actually, there's a Tesco Express just up the road from my SW..may stop there tonight before group and see if they have the one you bought. Might nibble a bit once home and if I like it- that's tomorrows dinner sorted! xx
 
There is a veggie one too that is only 1.5 syns but I really like the chicken one, find that the protein in the chicken makes it a little more filling. Let me know how you get on!!

Our systems have been down since 12 and I'm getting booooored now. Done all my filing too :( no phones, no computers and no internet!

On a more somber note.... I feel really fat and bloated. Again. Don't know if it's the trousers or the way I'm sat or if I just am big and bloated. All I do know is I want to get WI done so I can feel like it's a fresh week again. With all my meals planned I'm hoping to be back on the losing (or at least maintaining!) next week.

Food shop is coming tonight between 7 & 8 so The Boy will have to sort it all out but I'm a bit anal about the food dates and where to put things etc so won't rest until I'm home!! Plus I really wanted to prep dinner before I left so I could leave my beef strips to marinade while I was out. Think I'll make the marinade, give strict instructions to him to cut the meat up and put it in the sauce... That could work.

Bored and bloated... Not good!!
 
Forgot to mention! As I won Miss Slinky in group I had a questionnaire thingy to fill out on the SW website - super long, 29 questions that weren't just yes or no answer, they wanted full on typed answers. Now its taken me a good few days to read through and complete but finally have submitted! Don't know what will happen now, they will contact me if they want to use it on the website, magazine or want me for anything promotional but fingers crossed ay?! xxx

Not really what one anticipated becoming famous for but hey, if I get in the mag or on the website and it helps others then by chr!st I will push it!
My C actually wants me to attend one of her other groups in another town for an 'inspirational' evening where they can have a bit of a Q&A session with me. She also wants to put the story forward to the local paper as something to promote the group and different plans. Would feel more comfortable being in the magazine than in the local paper but again, if it helps someone, somewhere then at least I have helped :) xx
 
You've helped tons and tons of people on here for a start! I think it was be pretty amazing to be in the magazine - cor! All those lovely clothes to wear and swishing about in professional make up and hair.

You should definitely do the inspirational evening as well, how wonderful!

I think it has something to do with Marina?! thingy you had. Your body is trying to accepted it and to protect itself retaining water/air. Once your body accept it, then you'll be fine.

Last week, I was complaining about being bloated and not being able to do up my trousers. Finally, I worked out, it was the medication and injection they gave me before my MRI/CT scan. I drank loads of water until I flushed all out of my body. Today, I put the same trousers on and it fits fine and a bit looser.

Love your breakfast.

You know what Rosie? I didn't even think of that! I have felt like I keep getting period pains and funny feelings 'inside' all the time, like they come for an afternoon or so and then disappear. Maybe it is that, or at least a contributing factor (along with some not so good food choices at the weekend!). Glad you worked out what caused your problems, I remember you saying you had issues with the trousers. Yay to being looser! Xxx
